Just remember being given an offer (especially if it's "high") with a "low" prediction isn't the end of the story. You will still need to achieve the "high" offer (or at least get very close to it) on Results Day.

If you're applying for a creative course or a vocational course then your application will be judged on things other than your predictions. So even if the offer calculator looks bleak you could well have a chance - especially if your qualifications are different or your experiences are particularly good.

I've heard that universities think the results on this calculator are wrong, especially if it says you have a low chance of receiving an offer as they don't make a decision based on results only. I wouldn't trust it.

It's a statistical analysis of prior outcomes. If someone has, say, a 35% chance of an offer that doesn't mean they won't get an offer. It's not necessarily "wrong". But yes it's a beta and can always be improved.

And I found that if your predicted grades are significantly higher than students who usually apply to a certain uni, it will give a false negative and say you haven't got a chance...

That sounds like an interesting bug. Perhaps the calculator is based on data rather than algorithmically. So if there's only few matching the specific scenario then you get a low "chance"...
